What a gimmick Ted DiBiase had.

As the 'Million Dollar Man', he was instructed to spend big at restaurants and (where possible) pick up bar tabs for entire establishments. The kicker was that Ted would have to use a set fee then claim it back from the company as expenses. Still, he effectively got to spend Vince McMahon's money for him.

Ol' Ted couldn't resist using that as a means to wind his pals up from time to time. On The Apter Chat, he told how he'd aim a quick dig at Ric Flair by saying the 'Nature Boy' was out spending his own cash while DiBiase was living high on the hog for free. Let's hope he whipped his head back and did that evil laugh after saying this.

DiBiase didn't reveal if Flair took the joke in good spirits or not. Deep down, Ric must have been slightly miffed that he, a known party animal who enjoyed the finer things in life, had to live out of his own pocket when McMahon was funding someone else.
